Design
This highly ornate ladies ring is a truly handmade heirloom quality piece, # 720 of our online selection catalog. This floral beauty is our recent modification of the prized and ancient design of Thailand named “The Flower of the Angels”, our own # 34. The solitary gemstone is securely mounted in multiple sawed prongs. This complexly detailed, intricately created and highly decorated design features a unique hand engraved floral pattern on each flanking plate over the split, comfort fit band. A design worthy of show.
Gemstones
The gemstone is a natural black star Sapphire from Thailand that is well cabbed oval and is measuring 10.4 x 8.0 x 3.4 mm and weighs 3.10 carat. The six ray star is natural rather than diffused, is of moderate brightness and sharpness. Color differences in pictures is the difference between lighting only. Sapphire is the birthstone of September. Sapphire has a hardness of 9 and is tough making it a suitable gem for crafting jewelry that will be worn daily.
Metal Content
We started this project by melting down fine silver and pure copper to create an ingot of 93% silver alloy. Consequentially our alloys are a little on the rich side of .925 Sterling. Copper alone is the remaining 7%. We do not add base metal in our alloy so there is less chance for any allergic reaction.
